ALTON - The wildfires in Los Angeles have taken on pretty deep meaning over the last few days for my family. Sierra Brannan, my 24-year-old daughter, has been in the middle of much of the chaos. Last night she had to evacuate her apartment because of close-by explosions and fire mayhem. She stayed the night last night at her other roommate's brother's home about 30 minutes away. I am greatly appreciative of his protection of both girls and opening his home. Sierra returned to her apartment with her roommate Thursday morning as the evacuation order was, for now, halted. Thankfully, her apartment had not been damaged despite how close the wildfires had spread near her. She was so appreciative her home wasn't damaged and how nice her employers had been. Sierra packed her trunk with her most cherished keepsakes last night to escape the area. I also wanted to salute the firefighters who are battling this atrocity. Firefighters and first responders redefine what it means be brave and have
